"Benefon is offering a new direction in the security market. It is based on the integration of our many years of expertise in the GPS industry and best practices from the security industry," said Tomi Raita, CEO of Benefon. "Our mobile location devices offer a radical departure from existing location systems by enabling organizations to bring all that functionality together in a convenient format. Customers’ response to the Benefon product family has been extremely positive."

Through a unique combination of Benefon technology and world class intelligence and security services, GEOS is able to monitor the location of an individual to an accuracy of fifteen feet almost anywhere in the world. In the event of an emergency situation, the press of a single button on the TWIG Discovery or on the GPS Locator will automatically send a distress signal (together with exact GPS coordinates) to the GEOS Command and Control Centre in Houston. Here, on GEOS’ Global Emergency Monitoring system, digital maps display the exact location of the individual together with latitude and longitude. Trained operators are ready to immediately swing into action to provide assistance 24/7, 365 days a year.

One of the unique features of the GEOS/Benefon tracking and locating system is the facility for corporations and family to locate individuals from their own personal computers if they have been supplied with the correct codes to access the system.

Peter Chlubek, Chairman of TSG stated that, “With our travelers now able to be equipped with a GPS phone that is registered with our patented GEOS System, we can ensure that our members receive all information that is relevant to wherever they may be on the planet. Our GEOS Command and Control Center, through our Global Emergency Monitoring system, can notify up to one million members per hour. We call it our GEM. It’s an immensely powerful tool in providing proactive emergency information that helps keep our members safe.”
